Paper Island

One of the best things about Copenhagen is how beautifully understated many things are. You literally stumble across amazing design stores, museums, coffee houses, bars and restaurants. Nothing seems to be flaunted in a flashy way – it seems to be a case of “If you find us, that’s cool…”

And this was very much the case with Copenhagen Street Food. Located in the Paper Island district, right on the water front, it’s a cavernous warehouse in a very industrial – but scratch the surface, and it’s uber trendy – area. If you’ve ever been to Camp & Furnace on Greenland Street in Liverpool, it’s very similar location wise. Food outlet wise, it really reminded me of a bigger version of the food hall at Altrincham Market.

We loved the above sign – why pay something fancypants when you can do it yourself? The ethos of the food market is brilliant – it’s all about unique, independent traders, all coming together under one roof to provide an eclectic experience.
